Counsellor at Three Lamps. Therapy that meets you where you are — low mood, overwhelm, trauma, grief, or chronic illness.

Matthew works with a wide range of adult difficulties. As a registered ACC Sensitive Claims provider he specialises in supporting survivors of trauma, and he also works extensively with grief, loss, and anxiety. He has a dedicated focus on living with long-term health conditions, and on men navigating emotional and relational challenges.

The approach is relational, integrative, and flexible — person-centred, psychodynamic, humanistic, and mindfulness-based, depending on what is needed. Experience includes both NGO and private practice. Alongside qualifications he brings more than thirty years of marriage and raising three adult children.

Provisional member, NZAC. Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling (Merit). Bachelor’s in Psychology (Honours). He also practises in Birkenhead.
